Title:
  Problem with MergeList

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a warning icon next to my me-menu since today, telling me to report a bug against update-manager.
  I think this is an apt bug, but I am just following the instructions on screen and add apt afterwards.

  I will translate the error message to english:

  I would like to provide more information (using apport) but I get an
  error, stating that the problem cannot be submitted. I will attach the
  file which is part of the error message. I could not find another log
  file which shows any information about the problem (even /var/log/apt
  does not contain any interesting files) :/
